Vote Jim Sanders for council

To the Editor:

Voters, please support Jim Sanders for City Council in the upcoming election.

As a fellow planning commissioner, Mr. Sanders has developed a good understanding and solid framework of principles to apply to local government. He would infuse new blood, new ideas and a voice of reason into the council. Mr. Sanders is not burdened by past deals. Consistent with Ridgecrest’s new term-limit initiative, this would be the first term of elected office for Mr. Sanders.

Mr. Sanders is very responsible as a planning commissioner; he prepares for the meetings, and attacks issues using fair and sound principles. He is a member of the Infrastructure Committee and has been strong voice for maintaining and improving streets, bike paths and the wastewater system.

He is also a member of the Community Development Committee, where he has been supportive of updating the Municipal Code to eliminate outdated and ambiguous development policies.
